Hello
OP - September 09, 2009, 11:24 AM

Hi,

I am new to this. for the past few weeks I was thinking alot about islam and read alot of literature. I do not agree with everything that I found out and have doubts. I am from a bangladeshi background born intoa muslim family. however all my life I did not practice islam. even during ramadhan i did not fast or pray. i did fast a few times just to please others, but now given up.

I am so glad I found this website as well as faith freedom because it made me realise I am not alone in this.

but I feel very scared to declare that i want leave islam due to family/friends. i feel confused and dont know what to do.

im glad that i can now communicate with others about this. and maybe have the courage to be 'free'.

also, as I only found out about this site by my private searches etc...and not through word of mouth or anything (since I have not talked to anyone about this at all) I was wondering how can we expand and make more people/muslims aware of it? I feel helpless sometimes.

look forward to your replies
thanks.

Firstly, welcome to the forum. Please post up your bio and story in the bio section of the forum. Leaving Islam can be a daunting experience for some and it's nice to share that in order to remove some weight off one's shoulder. I look forward to more posts from you.

I'd keep quiet for the moment if I was you. There's no point in approaching a difficult subject with others until you've got it all straight in your own head first.

Hey Human, I agree with Cheetah about not coming out just yet since you are still unsure. For guidance on Islam; I have a huge list of hadiths that I have a problem with which I have posted on this forum. Feel free to go through them if it helps you to reach a decision, the link is in my signature.

Welcome Human!! Make yourself at home and try to avoid Faith Freedom. There are so many haters on that website and its just shouting and yelling. Here you can ask questions and there won't be any arguments InshAllah

Welcome Human - its a frightening leap to take at first, I remember feeling empty at first & lonely at first as I did not know anyone who had denounced Islam and I just felt I was bad.
